The baby is 8 months old and has been receiving the vaccination for 4 days. How should I handle the fever?

Patient's question:

The baby is 8 months old and has been receiving the vaccination for 4 days. Suddenly, it developed a fever without any other symptoms, just the fever. The temperature is 39 degrees. The throat is not red. Please help urgently. Thank you.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: None
Desired help: Online consultation on what to do

Doctor's answer:

From the description of symptoms, it is mostly a cold. You have been vaccinated for four days, and it is generally unlikely that a fever could be caused by an allergic reaction to the vaccine. Therefore, the possibility of a cold is higher. I suggest you go to the hospital in time for a doctor's examination to determine the nature of the problem, and then receive targeted treatment so that it can be resolved promptly. Otherwise, blindly using medication without a proper diagnosis can easily miss the opportunity to alleviate the child's condition or lead to further danger.
